What resin over tarmac and concrete involves
A resin overlay is a resin bound surface laid directly on top of an existing tarmac or concrete driveway that is still sound. It is the cheapest way to get a resin drive because there is no dig-out, but it only works when the old surface is level, stable and free of active cracking.
Any quote we prepare in Jarrow says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Many homes in Jarrow have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Jarrow we can price work such as turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.
Prices for resin over tarmac and concrete in Jarrow
Labour and material costs in the North East run below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
As a guide, a 48 m² drive in the NE32 area would be around £1,900–£3,000 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £3,200–£5,150 with a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Jarrow
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. An overlay on sealed tarmac or concrete does not drain through the old base, so the drive needs to fall towards a lawn, border or soakaway on your land, or the old base comes out for a permeable build.
Permitted development rights apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes, and some conservation areas have Article 4 directions that remove them. Listed buildings can need consent if railings or historic walls are affected.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The North East has cool winters, so resin is laid in the warmer months or on dry, mild days when ground and air are above about 5°C. Laying days in Jarrow are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
